This book posits that energy should be understood as a continuous flow rather than a static resource. It suggests that misinterpretations of thermodynamic principles, particularly the Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics, have led to inefficient energy storage and conversion methods. By advocating for a paradigm shift in our energy systems-focusing on movement and flow-the author proposes a more seamless integration of energy storage within an ongoing energy continuum.
Nature provides energy in abundance-through lightning, thunder, waves, the sun, and wind-but our inability to predict its timing has led to the construction of oversized, inefficient storage systems. By understanding that energy is movement, not containment, we can rethink battery storage as part of a seamless energy continuum.
